“My mother and I have initiated a passion project,” she said in a statement MTV news reports. “We call it the Born This Way Foundation. Together we hope to establish a standard of Bravery and Kindness, as well as a community worldwide that protects and nurtures others in the face of bullying and abandonment.”

According to her release, the organization will focus on "youth empowerment and equality by addressing issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring and career development and will utilize digital mobilization as one of the means to create positive change."

The foundation will partner with several backers, including the California Endowment, the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
